Controp Presents New EO Payloads for UAVs and Land Systems at Eurosatory 2012

Controp Precision Technologies
has launched is introducing the M-STAMP gyro stabilized multi sensor
payload system for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and small aircraft.
The M-STAMP has a daylight (CCD) zoom camera and uncooled thermal imager
dual field of view optics. In addition, the payload includes a laser
pointer.Controp plans to offer an uncooled thermal imager with a
continuous zoom as well. The new payload has also been delivered to
customers in Europe and the US. One of the applications is the HoverEye
EX unmanned helicopter developed by Bertin. In the US, the US Air Force
has evaluated the new payload on an Elbit Systems Skylark LE.

Controp M-STAMP Multi Sensor Payload mounted on Aeronautics Orbiter UAVControp is also presenting the HD-STAMP – the first High Definition
gyro stabilized camera for small UAVs. The new HD STAMP provides new
opportunities for SUAVs, including surveying of power lines and other
requirements where a high definition image is required.In
addition, CONTROP is bringing the new SPEED-V for the first time to be
on demonstration at Eurosatory 2012. The SPEED-V is a lightweight (24kg)
EO/IR gyro stabilized system which was specially designed for Mobile
Surveillance Vehicle (MSV) while installed on a tall mast or on ground
vehicles. The SPEED-V provides long range observation capabilities for
intelligence gathering purposes, as well as panoramic scanning for
Automatic Intruder Detection of very wide area perimeter.

For manned or unmanned ground vehicles Controp provides the VIEW range
of stabilized rigid payloads. The family includes the L-VIEW, with a
single sensor and the T-VIEW packing a dual sensor EO/IR on a gyro
stabilized mount for day and night observation on board various ground
vehicles and armored vehicles. T-VIEW includes two cameras- an uncooled
thermal camera with continuous zoom lens and a daytime CCD camera while
L-VIEW comprises a single uncooled IR camera with continuous zoom lens.
The L-VIEW has successfully completed an evaluation and field test for a
foreign customer, mounted on armored combat vehicles. These payloads
were designed to answer a unique field requirement as an aid to the
commander and crew of light armored vehicles. The gyro stabilized VIEW
payloads enable observation while driving through thick dust, dirt
roads, so that the commander can have complete control of the
surrounding area in panoramic view, which increases the mobile safety of
the troops and provides security of access during movement. Other
applications of the L-VIEW and T-VIEW include observation, navigation,
driving, situational awareness and force protection while providing
real-time video onboard a variety of different land vehicles.
